An Advanced Technology Evaluation of Unmanned Maritime Vehicles

HULSFest - From February 20 - March 3, 2006, the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) program office and the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division hosted an advanced technology evaluation of unmanned maritime vehicles for ship hull inspection missions as part of a market research effort. The purpose of this event was to evaluate the technical feasibility of candidate technologies in conducting underwater ship hull object inspection and localization missions in support of the Navy EOD Ship Hull Object Localization System (HULS) acquisition program.
